Good news for fans of the Emmy-winning docu-series Cheer as Netflix has announced that the popular show will return for its second season on January 12th.
The first season series followed the nationally ranked forty-member Navarro College Bulldogs Cheer Team from Corsicana, Texas, under the direction of coach Monica Aldama, as they prepare to compete in the National Cheerleading Championship held annually in Daytona Beach, Florida.
As the series began, the Cheer Team had won fourteen NCA National Championships in the junior college division, as well as five “Grand Nationals” for the highest score of all teams in the competition.
According to Variety, the second season of “Cheer” will be nine episodes, expanded from the six in Season 1.
Season 2 will also center around “the impact of COVID-19 and criminal charges against one of Navarro’s former team members,” exec producer Greg Whiteley said on the New York Post website.
The tagline for Season 2: “The Emmy-winning breakout sensation is back, and the stakes have never been higher. As Navarro defends its championship crown against a slew of challenges, including their fiercest rivals at Trinity Valley Community College, unexpected events threaten the camaraderie of the team and the season itself.”
On Rotten Tomatoes the series holds an approval rating of 96% based on 23 reviews, with an average of 7.75/10.
